Celebrate fall in downtown South Bend with October First Fridays
SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Downtown South Bend is ushering in a new season with its October First Fridays event, Fall Frolic.
The event will be held on Friday from 5 to 9 p.m. in the 200 block of S. Michigan St.
A special themed event this month is the Oktoberfest Block Party, featuring music by Will Smaka's Music Connection, a beer garden, German food from Weiss' Gasthaus, and more.
Also returning to First Fridays is Over the Edge, supporting the Youth Service Bureau of St. Joseph County, inviting participants to rappel off the Robertson's Building downtown.
The South Bend Chocolate Café will also host Pumpkin Palooza during the event. The first 200 visitors to the café can get a pumpkin to carve with a donation of pet food to the Humane Society of St. Joseph County.
As with any First Fridays, check out a list of food and drink deals from area restaurants and specials from local businesses during your time downtown.
